I like Luke at Aussie Woodshed- poor bugger always works in a down- home, cash strapped way, 17:43 but he comes up with some interesting stuff.Also his focus is on using those less than forgiving Aussie timbers.

French Cleat, I Love it, and the Squares too… A very late entry, but just to let you know that, I watched the video as well as that one where you showed all the cool ideas how made all those behind you… So a big thank you! Remember, *_Life_* is *_Short_* so *_Live Long_* and *_Prosper_* …🖖 Cheers matey!!!

Hello again, hope you are well! Watching the beautiful shots on Jigsaw, I was wondering did you try to cut from the bottom? What I meant is just flick the jigsaw so all you will see the blade from the top and the cut will be less messy. I saw the trick by a woodworking UA-camr from other side of the pond (Bourbon Moth Woodworking)… (Thank you for the tips about the Formica for my work+feed table, but not sure what types I’ll choose! Commercial Interiors or Home Products? Any Suggestion please??? Thanks…)🙏

Nice build, would have been good to see the space on the inside too though, so we can get an idea how it could work 👍🏽

I have a small pocket hole jig like in the video from Trend and it works great! I can see how the expensive one is much easier to work with though. But if you're a beginner and only making the occasional cabinet the small one is just fine imo :)

Yet another great video, thanks dude. Keep 'em coming and stay lucky

If you can't afford one of these, buy a farriers hoof rasp of decent quality and it eats wood voraciously

Awesome

Nothing that can't be solved with a 100x20x15 mm of plywood (also called scraps). Just put "advertorial" in the title man, you're trying to sell laser cutters. I need nor want a laser cutter.

Enjoyed the whole thing

Long long ago, in a woodshop far far away, I had a Ryobi battery powered generator and that DeWalt saw, and I would use them when I was working on site. I could go for about 4hrs, which was sufficient for what I was doing. This setup is totally doable, especially with the cost of having electricians wire up a shop (no judgement, everyone has to eat)

Really enjoyable video, Mark. I''m afraid it confirms to me what I have always believed. solar power and British weather are not soulmates. Never mind, those were lovely looking mallets. The two-wood contrast worked great and the thumbhole was a clever Addition. Can I ask, do you source your hardwood locally or order online? I find it very difficult to find anywhere locally where I can go and browse hardwoods. My stock has come mostly from bits of old discarded furniture. I see hardwoood bundles online but they always appear to be very thin pieces. Looking forward to the next video. All the best.

Great balanced review of the Bluetti system. I've seen the benefits that Matt (Badger's Workshop) gains with his, but the UK just doesn't seem to cope with solar 😢. Loved the mallets btw. Need to get my hands on some Sapele (or Super League if you try Google assist).

Oh the table saw shot revealed the cabinet with drawers from a year or two ago. That’s where it went. We only see the one side of the shop. No idea what you see when talking to us.

Yep, and in Australia the f**kwits want to run the country on salar & wind! I've got a 4.8kW system and I agree that the power output does vary due to cloud cover!

I could see keeping the Bluetti in your shop for a day when your power goes out and then letting it charge over the next week or w/e. Otherwise, nice mallets. I wish you focused more on them since that was what this video was supposed to be about.

Thanks this is a great video. I do like these videos. I need to make the board that uses the dove tail clamps. It looks quite useful.

Your channel is really taking off now. More than doubled since I subscribed. Well earned. You are a pleasure to watch and listen to.

Hi mate, well Cool mallets. So sapele and oak…… what other cominations could you use?

Something you missed is, how many times do you need to charge on the solar, to save the cost of the panels, compared to the cost of the mains, for the same number of charges (from flat)? That is how long it takes for the panels to pay for themselves. ( At the Least) 😁✌🖖

Enjoyed the whole thing😉👍🏻🤣🤣

Good video on making mallets Mark. I still have to make mine, but at my age, I'm not in any great hurry. I got a few pieces of what's called ironwood, but I'm not sure what it actually is. A friend who drives truck for a hardwood lumber company gave it to me. That portable power supply appears quite expensive to me. I know you own a lot of cordless tools, but have you ever compared it the cost of running an electric line from your house to your shop? It could be either aerial or buried. Use the electricity in the shop for lights, charging batteries, a space heater for year-round use, & an occasional new tool purchase. Locally, there is a big push on now for solar roof panels to supplement one's electricity needs. I think they look horrid & they have many drawbacks the public isn't aware of. I used French cleats thirty years ago that I forgot about. I had some thermal roll-up shades installed on bedroom windows. I used French cleats to hang plywood valances I made to cover up the rolls & hangers at the top of the windows. See you in the next video.

I think to finish the split box after cutting through, 120g sandpaper sheets stuck to a flat board then turn each side of the box upside down and a few passes it will be perfectly flat and even.

Where do you buy your hard woods from Mark?

Good video looks a good bit of kit, i have solar couple 12v batteries only run lights of them at moment and a very long extension lead for everything else😂

Those mallets look cracking Mark 👌🏼

Mallets look great and I appreciate the honest look at the battery powered generator.

I was looking forward to watching the mallet section, however when the first section was for something costing £1200 it suddenly started to look more like an expensive shopping channel than something for the regular work at home in your shed woodworker. A little too much promotion for me.

I need a mallet and I want to know what type of wood you use? Is it a hard wood?

I looked into getting one of these when I had the power issues at my shop as well, great video and awesome job on the mallets!

The biggest thing that amazes me is how so many people only look at solar power. There are affordable small wind turbines. I live in the northern rockies, and that is what I use. I can't always rely on the sun, but I can always count on the wind blowing. Another added benefit is I can charge at night.

Always enjoy your videos Mark. Love the thumb print mallet, but don't use it in a crime. The bobbies will have all the evidence they need. LOL.

An “infomercial”!

Admit it, Mark, you kind of miss that rickety old shack...not! Love the idea of portable power, but that gear you have would set me back over $1,500.00 USD. That's reasonable, but would put a dent in the kitty for the new cabinet saw. I hate that all of life is setting priorities. Those are lovely mallets. Last month, I made one by hand using cabinet makers files, drawer knife and an oscillating sander from a tree limb. It still needs some finishing, but there was an odd satisfaction of doing it like this. Honestly, I bought a maple mallet, probably twenty-five years ago, because it was on the shelf at the local hardware store and very pretty. It has lasted me and performed well; so I've never had a need for more mallets. And, honestly, everybody makes them. Great video, as always. Enjoyed the whole thing. Big thumbs up.

Hi Mark hope your well, you have made some amazing mallets like the one with the thumb grip a good fit for your hand. You got all that done on a single charge from your power bank that is good going. As always a great video catch you soon Take care

I have a similar setup (Ecoflow) using fixed panels on the shed roof. The key thing is getting the panels to the correct angle to maximise their output, it makes a huge difference in charge times.

www.youtube.com/@john-the-new-guy Very helpful thanks a lot. Making a fool of myself trying to learn woodworking on my own starter UA-cam channel. This will help.

The thumb hole on that mallet is a brilliant little design - all the mallets came out gorgeous! Liked the trick with the drill for sanding, I used to clamp my Random Orbital Sander upside down to do the same thing!

Mark I have solar so I can charge from that and store power that way even here in Liverpool I seem to always have a decent battery level and have been thinking of adding batteries to my system

That’s interesting, I’m looking at starting a workshop at the back of some land a friend owns currently with no power, had thought about this type of power station and was wondering if solar really charges it enough - I’m probably even worse as in Scotland so saves me finding out the hard way, thanks 👍

Love your work. Keep up the open and honest learning process.

Hey mark.!! I think these are perfect for trades on site , but “ IN THE SHED.? “ £1700 buy’s you a lot of armoured cable and plug sockets and more than enough to pay an electrician to connect it to the mains.!!! And at some point it will need replacing !⚒️😁💪🏻

Nice job m8 nice video the mallets look great. Love the blacktail inspired thumb hole one. I think bluetti have missed a trick the solar panels are designed from what i can see to charge off sunlight. Granted America sunny places fine as you noticed uk not so much they need run off daylight. The pannels I've just had installed in my house granted it's not apple's for apple's but they run off sunlight and even with the weather weve had recently im still generating enough most days to power the whole house 😮 i can see the appeal for camping etc though but the cost IMO kills it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Given the cost of the battery and the panels, the answer to the question "can you power your workshop for free?" is clearly "no, you can't";-)

Sadly I just had to send a Jackery and solar panel kit back apart from not working with my Ebike wiring set up (dodgy 2 pin system from China), the overall weight was 19Kilos😂…I’d drain the bike battery just trying to get the kit anywhere worth travelling to. However thanks for that…because it’s great to know for shed projects in the future. Could I buy a baby mallet please? I need one the overall length of your hand? Or a link to a template…I don’t have your kind of kit as I work with miniature things…thanks for this vid…👍🏻✨🌈✨

With the solar panels, you'd be better off I think putting them on the roof of the shed. We have panels on the caravan (as well as the house) and whilst on the caravan they are not at the perfect angle, they are constantly able to charge when there is enough light. Saying all that, for the cost of the battery and the panels, I think most people would be able to pay an electrician to have electricity piped through to their shed 🙂 Are you going to put a finish on the mallets?

Why did you need planning permission?
